Ithaca College

The next No Pressure Blood Pressure will be held on Wednesday, March 27th.

 Important reasons not to miss the next screening:

1. 65 million Americans have hypertension (high blood pressure)

2. Many people don't even know their blood pressure is high because there are no symptoms in most cases

3. Hypertension can lead to heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease

4. 66% of those IC employees measured at the last screening were pre-hypertensive   (above ideal )

5. A 20 point increase in systolic blood pressure (top number) or a 10 point increase in diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) doubles the risk of heart disease.

6. Poor diet, inactivity, and being overweight can lead to an increase in blood pressure

7. If one does not adopt a healthy lifestyle, the hypertensive individual will need to take costly medication with potential side effects

8. Physical and emotional stress can elevate your blood pressure

China and Japan are currently experiencing an extremely difficult period in their relationship. Rising tensions over the East China Sea (ECS) are producing a series of negative actions and reactions, exemplifying the typical downward spiral of the security dilemma. Why and how has the ECS become a source of conflict and insecurity, and why have tensions escalated in recent years? Can the challenges posed by the current tensions be turned into opportunities to take China-Japan relations into a more positive direction? Dr. Cui’s lecture will address these questions, place China- Japan relations within emerging regional and international contexts, and offer some policy suggestions for the future.   Shunji Cui, PhD is a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence at Marian University in Indianapolis. She is also Associate Professor of International Relations in the Department of Political Science, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. Dr.
